Hate groups, regarded as significant security threats, have surged in number by 17% from 2022 to 2023, showcasing a troubling rise in extremism across the USA.
The Southern Poverty Law Center reported in 2023 that America hosts 1,430 active anti-government extremist groups, with their influence and violent tendencies escalating substantially.
The concentration of hate groups varies significantly across states, with certain areas experiencing staggering increases, particularly in Kentucky and Georgia, both of which saw doubling of these groups this year.
Overall, the rise in hate groups corresponds with a documented increase in hate crimes and domestic terrorism, highlighting a critical national security concern that demands attention.
